When on a getaway, there are times that I love to just lock myself in a rented house or hotel room and completely disconnect.  This also means that I may not partake in the local fare, which is not necessarily something I want to skip.  So, what do I do… I bring the local fare to me!  Some ideas, especially if you’re renting a house:

• Find a great local yoga or gym instructor who will come give you a personal class.
• Find a local restaurant who has great food who will either deliver, or let you pick-up for eating at home.
• Find a local masseuse who will bring their table and aroma therapy where you are… great way to relax in the privacy of your space.
• On your way in, go by a local wine shop and have someone help you pick out some interesting wines from local vintners that are in your budget… have your won wine tasting, whenever you want.
• Find a local artist who can come to you and give you a one hour lesson, whether it’s painting or photography or something else, this will bring your creative spirit alive on your vacation.

Get creative!  There are so many fun and wonderful local businesses and people who are happy to come to you.  Would love to hear any ideas you have around this topic.
